The Christmas Giveaway in Houston Texas

The joy of Christmas is having the ability to share good things with those less fortunate right here at home.

Moms Against Hunger was ask to provide for Christmas for an apartment complex that suffers from 78% Aids, as well as drug addiction, gang violence and all sorts of crime. Single moms who live here are trapped by poverty, poor education and the cycle of circumstances beyond their control.

A team went with me into this apartment complex. Matthew had a team there as well ready to help... he brought tables, bright happy music and chairs. They also served a lunch to everyone who came.

Pink backpacks for girls and Red/Black ones for the boys. Each one had books, and toys/stuffed animals inside. Along with Moms Against Hunger food each backpack was filled with love and given out to each child.

If I could have hugged each woman and talked with each one I would have!!

The eyes of single moms says it all..... their gratitude was touching.

Matthew Bismark the coordinator of this event, wants an interview to talk about Moms Against Hunger and our vision for nutritional food for the needy.

And we interviewed a couple of men who were watching all that was happening from the sideline. They were curious as to why we would bring food to THIS area. Hard eyes watched us walk the entire complex praying for every family who lives here. No one touched us, but we touched all of them.

Pastor Chris, is in this area who will help his community with the acts of kindness done today. More later....

I am so touched by this act of kindness and what Mother's Against Hunger is doing. I love that they go to other states and countries, but when they help people right here in the Houston and surrounding areas it becomes more special. There are children going hunger and parents whom are in need also and it would help them greatly. I just wish they can do this every year during Christmas in the Houston area pick one apartment project complex a year like Haverstock, Gulf Coast Arms, Settegast, Cleme Manor, Kelly Court, Irvington Village and other areas.

Moms Against Hunger sent funds to help families with emergency supplies in the immediate days following this disaster.

This is an area in the Dominican Republic that is called 'Little Haiti', and it is filled with poor Haitians who fled Haiti looking for a better life. The children here do not attend school, nor is there a job source in the area for the adults to work at. MAH offers food to these helpless children who stay hungry all the time.

A typhoon hit the tiny island of Fiji and caused major flooding which ruined a majority of the crops. Moms Against Hunger was contacted and asked if we would ship a container of food to them to help provide meals for children during this crisis season. With our partners help we shipped 250,000 meals to the children of Fiji.

The massive tornado's that swept through Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky were terrifying to the families that survived them. Our heartfelt response to them was gratefully accepted as thousands were without food and water and living with damaged or destroyed homes. This effort took hundreds of people to help their neighbors through this ordeal.

Hurricane Katrina was a category 5 Hurricane, that hit New Orleans and surrounding areas. It was the costliest natural disaster in the history of the USA. We provided shelter for a total of 1,000 people over the course of 1 month. We provided shelter, food, clothing and a safe place to think about the future and what to do next. In the shock of what had happened, we respected the privacy of our families and did not allow photos to be taken overall.

Serving families in the aftermath of a hurricane has always been an area that Moms Against Hunger serves in. Every family needs the emotional support and care of a mother in such a time.
